    Willow And Nicoll New Haven, CT 06511, USA - East Rock
    Accidents happen frequently at this corner (at least two in the last few days), which is controlled by a 2-way stop sign. Drivers on Nicoll will stop at the stop sign, then proceed assuming incorrectly that the driver on Willow has a stop sign as well. At the very least, the stop signs on Willow should carry an indication that crossing traffic does not stop, but a 4-way stop is the better solution at an intersection where people tend to barrel down Willow at an unsafe speed.

    265 Church St New Haven, CT 06510, USA - Town_Green
    To drivers unfamiliar with this intersection, the alignment of lanes from Church (south of Grove) to Whitney (north of Grove) is counterintuitive. The left turn lane on Church is not marked by an overhead sign, and drivers often go straight through to the left lane of Whitney. People often drive from the second lane from the left on Church to the right lane on Whitney. Overhead signs are needed, and so are dotted lane lines through the intersection. (Whitney at Trumbull has dotted lane lines to clarify alignment.)
  • 366-424 Orange St New Haven, CT 06510, USA - Downtown
    Turn restrictions on northbound lanes on Orange are poorly marked. The right lane, which is right-turn-only, is aligned with the single northbound lane on the north side of the intersection and thus feels like the appropriate lane for through traffic. The left lane, which is for both through traffic and left turns, is aligned with the left-turn lane of oncoming traffic and thus feels inappropriate for through traffic. Drivers often incorrectly go straight from the right lane, endangering drivers going straight from the left lane. This confusing intersection should be marked with dotted lane lines through the intersection, and with overhead signs.
